Vesper Service at Appleton Chapel.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The first vesper service, held yesterday afternoon in Appleton Chapel, attracted a large crowd. The service was conducted by Professor Francis G. Peabody assisted by Rev. William Lawrence of Cambridge. The choir was strengthened by the university glee club, giving in all a chorus of over fifty voices. They sang "Domine Salvam Fac," by Gounod, "Ave Verum," by Saint-Saens, and a Harvest Anthem "Ye Shall Dwell in the Land," by Stanier, the first two pieces for men's voices. Professor Peabody delivered an interesting address based on the figure of a shepherd leading his flocks so often used in the Bible. He applied the simile to our modern life showing the need of an inspiring leader and willing obedient followers.
